Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has berated the dwindling clan of African scientists in Europe, America and Asia continents, lamenting that their efforts on global horizon is fast regressing.

Obasanjo stated this on Friday in a paper titled, “The African Scientist in a Fast-Changing World” which he presented at the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences in honour of late Prof. Ali Mazrui in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Mazrui died on October 12, 2014.

The former President noted that African scientists in the mould of Mazrui were rare on the continent.

He said, “Sadly today, the place of eminence of the African scientists on the global horizon is fast regressing. In a fast-changing world, we are getting far left behind. Our contribution to the science, technology and engineering scholarly literature is the least of all regions of the world.

“Our universities are at the bottom of global league tables of world-class universities with the region having the least number of Nobel Prize winners in science.

“Even, a good number of our local problems are being solved by scientists from outside our region. Yet, we have some of the best intellectually-endowed scientists in the world. The laboratories in Asia, Europe and North America, where breakthroughs are achieved to drive our fast-changing world, are populated in part by brain-drained African scientists.”

Obasanjo, while recognising efforts of United Kingdom in recent time in science and technology, said the feat would take the world by storm.

He said, “During the last two weeks, the fast-paced world of science and technology reported the British government voting to allow a new technique involving babies created from three people.

“If passed by the House of Lords, the UK will become the first country in the world to offer this medical procedure, which can be used to treat mitochondrial diseases.

“Other exciting things in the world of science in the last two weeks include use of biodegradable nanoparticles to kill brain cancer cells in animals and lengthen their survival and the selection of 100 astronaut candidates for the Mars One project which will land four people on Mars.

“New drugs to counter diabetes and hypertension ravaging Africa and the rest of the world are in different stages of development.”

Obasanjo, who described late Mazrui as a friend, said with his death, “Africa has lost one of its scholarly giants and believers in a truly great continent.”

He noted that his books and his hundreds of scholarly articles explored topics relating to African politics, international political culture, political Islam and globalisation.
